Tried a new place, liked it, so of course it's closing in a week. Damn. Mighty Good in OTR Cincinnati. Greens. Damn, good greens are hard to find.

This long weekend I decided to try and tackle a project I wanted to do for a while but things always kept me from (I didn’t have a case, didn’t have a wifi card, etc etc). I finally sat down and got MVS380 (Note this link is dead use Turnkey 4 instead) installed and running on my raspberry pi.
It wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be but I’ll outline the steps here for anyone interested.
The first thing to do is get hercules. I used rasbian (headless) and luckily someone compiled hercules for it and made a deb so you just need to install hercules (apt-get install hercules).
Then get MV380 from here (the second bullet MVS/380 v1.2 (full install). wget works on that link. Make sure you put it in its own folder. Now unzip the zip file (unzip x mvs380-1_2_rtr.zip).
Launch hercules: hercules -f conf/mvs380.conf and it should bring up the prompt. type ‘ipl 148’ followed by ’/r 00,clpa’ and watch it go. Wait for a bit until you see “JES2 TERMINATION” and type ’/s jes2,,,parm=‘format,noreq’.
When you’re done launch your TN3270 client (like x3270) and log on with herc01. Enjoy!
Edit:
For anyone interested here’s the clist code i wrote to make the raspberry pi logo in tso:
write .~~. .~~. write '. \ ' ' / .' write .~ .~~~..~. write : .~.'~'.~. : write ~ ( ) ( ) ~ write ( : '~'.~.'~' : ) write ~ .~ ( ) ~. ~ write ( : '~' : ) Raspberry Pi - MVS Style! write '~ .~~~. ~' write '~' write exit

Great rendition of a great character.
